Elon Musk makes major political donation to House Republicans
The tech mogul donated a total of $289,100 to the NRCC in August, according to the FEC filing. But despite the six-figure donation, the NRCC only raised $9.7 million in August while Democrats raised $22.2 million.
SpaceX founder and billionaire Elon Musk made a major six-figure donation to House Republicans last month, according to a Friday Federal Election Commission (FEC) report from the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC).
The donation comes as Musk increases his political portfolio to help Republicans keep control of the House of Representatives this November. Musk has donated to both political parties in the past, but has been siding more predominantly with Republicans in recent months, due in part to a relationship with former President Donald Trump.
The tech mogul donated a total of $289,100 to the NRCC in August, according to the FEC filing. It is also possible that he has donated money to America PAC, a super political action committee that favors Trump. That group can accept unlimited donations from each person, according to Politico. But it will not be clear how much, if any, Musk donated to the PAC until it files its earnings on Oct. 15.
Despite the six-figure donation, the NRCC only raised $9.7 million in August while Democrats raised $22.2 million.
